We had to leave out several communications this week for the reason that they were received late and we were crowded with advertisements. They will appear next week. Besides, our next two issues will be sixteen pages each week. We feel sure the movement to provide stalls for stock driven to Union is a good one. It is hard on horses and mules to have to stand out in the cold rain or hot sun. The move being made to provide suitable shelter i? a guuu uuu. Wc heartily commend the movement to fit out rest rooms for ladies | who come to Union to spend the day shopping. It will he a great convenience to the ladies. The rooms overt the Citizens National Bank are cell-' trally located and easy of access, and will, no doubt, be used freely by the ladies. County Superintendent of Education II. C. Little has been largely instrumental in financing the field day exercises to come off here Friday, April 17. This is a good work, and Mr. Little is to be commended for his active interest in these matters of so great interest to the schools and , to the public. HOG CHOLERAT There are several cases of hog cholera a tLockhart, it is reported. Mr. F. W. Carnell. the farm demon- : stration agent for this county, made a trip down there on Thursday. It may be wejl to say that if there ; is an outbreak of this disease any- 1 where in the county Mr. Carnell should be notified at once, so that steps may be taken to check the disease. There is no cure for the disease, but it can be prevented from spreading, and that is of prime importance. The Union County Teachers Asso-j1 ciation should receive the cordial sup-1 port of every teacher in the coumy.: The organization is calculated to work great good in all matters o? educational interest. The social and stimulating effects are good. It is to be hoped that all teachers throughout the county will make earnest effort to be here on Field Day, April 17. This, we understand, is to be a day that will mark many beginnings to things greater in the field of education in Union county. Come, all ye teachers. Come, all ye pupils. Come, all ye people. Let's make the day one long to be remembered in the annals of the history of Union county educational activities. A WORI) OF WARNING. We feel sure the general public will agree with us in the statement that automobiles and motorcycles should be made to slow down within the city limits. There is entirely two much speeding. There is especial need that corners be turned at a slower gait than is now the common practice. It is becoming especially dangerous at several corners within the incorporated limits, notably Church and Sooth street; Main and Gadberry; South and Gadberry and quite a number of other points. There should also be rigidly enforced the law to turn to the right. There are many motorcycle and especially bicycle riders who seem to forget that there is any such regulation. We respectfully call the attention of tha city authorities to these matters and urge that prompt steps be taken to enforce the laws in these particulars. Some accident, a serious one, will result if it goes on as at present. And while we are making sugges- f tions, ^e go further: It should be made unlawful for automobiles and motorcycles to use the loud and un earthly alarms that are now in use. Such nerve-racking, deafening sounds should be prohibited by a city ordinance. It is not to take away the liberty of the owners of power vehicles that we write along this line. It is to protect the public and, indirectly, secure the largest possible liberty for the owners of the ma- | chines. Lawful, careful and consid- ' erate use of a thing is best for the public and best for the user. Abuse of a thing causes danger to the public and curtails the privileges of the owners. NEW HOPE New Hope. April 7.?The mornings * are cool, but up in the day is i-eal \ spring weather, warm and comfortable. * Our pastor, Rev. Mr. Cook was sick Sunday .unable to preach for us, but 1 we had a good crowd who expected services and therefore had a good crowd who expected services and therefore had a good Sunday school lesson. Our superintendent, Mr. J. W. Scott made an interesting talk on Dur duties to one another as Christiat neighbors. Be humble unto God. Mr. M. C. Gault, superintendent of the _ l.ault Sunday school also made a 1 talk and gave some goodajd-^-j^fc* *: the young, to set theirs "J/*""1 ? ampies high, so that $ be one of them (the tn? ji called to fill the sacreiiCl.Il III tfll souls for Christ.

So the fellow rode on to this man j1 and made his wants known. This man s gave him a note to some one else to ^ pass the fool on to the next one and so on, until the fellow caught on and found so many laughing at him. I guess the one hunting that kind of an "g| augur never thought but that there ? was such a thing. Mrs. Coleman Fowler has a case of measles. j. Mr. J. A. Goforth spent Saturday s| and Sunday at Mr. J. D. Brown's. ^1 Mr. Elzie Kelly was up here Sun- c] day from Bonham. a The Misses James and Maud Plexi- jv co attended services here Sunday. Miss ElTie Faucett, teacher at Rock ^ Creek, was among the visitors at New Hope yesterday. y Mr. and Mrs. Dan Whitlock were ~a, at church; also Miss Mell Whitlock. p They spent the afternon at Uncle y Dye's. n There will be a lot of new, dresses and new hats at New Hope next Sun- tj day and let all who have new hats t: come and let me judge which is the prettiest. I can imagine now who w will have the prettiest one, if she n comes and T hope she will. Now Moxy, you keep quiet, but can laugh to yourself. The third Sunday is our quarterly meeting day and dinner will he served on the ground. We want a big crowd and will have it as there will be nc v preaching at any of the churches. We n hope there will be some good hot eor ^ fee. | ? T look for a snow this week. I v The little boys and girls sang in the choir Sunday and they did open their mouths and let the music out. h Children, you can outsing the older s folk. s Mr. Hormon Hughes, who lives on V Broad river, visited his sister, Miss S Sara, and his aunt, Mrs. .T.
